Abstract

SmBi 5 Fe 2 Ti 3 O 18, a five layered bismuth oxide compound is synthesized using a solid-state double sintering method. DC conductivity, impedance, and AC conductivity are studied in the temperature range 30–500°C and frequency range 1 kHz–1 MHz. Complex impedance plots are used to separate grain and grain boundary contributions to electrical impedance. Activation energy for DC conductivity was found to be around 1.0 eV. The results are analyzed to understand the conductivity mechanism.
